Christmas shopping guide for design enthusiasts - part 2 Christmas presents for the kitchen
read part 1 here: Christmas decor
In this second part of my Christmas shopping guide I have compiled a list of presents that will make your foodie friends and family very happy.
Offline Gift shopping in Christmas pop-ups
If you love shopping for presents offline, I want to recommend four of my favorite treasure hunting grounds (Christmas markets) in Budapest, where you can find a ton of different unique products and support local artists and craftsmanship with your shopping. From soaps & candles, to fashion, to jewellery, to games & books, to stationary, you sure will find anything you need (and anything that you didn’t know you needed).
Makers of Budapest - This contemporary craft fair is held monthly representing a wide range of Hungarian design. Catch it on the 18th of December.
Ajandekterminal - this year situated in Etele shopping mall, offering a wide selection of all kind of presents as well as workshops, this pop-up store is open every day until the 24th of December
WAMP Christmas edition - in the Bálna building with a great view over the Danube, the Hungarian design market is focused on local artists and their trades, on Sundays before Christmas
Projekt showroom - This pop-up store is held at Andrássy út 46 again this year, bearing all the gifts your heart could wish for
